Tells FMOD that the user is accessing the disk, so that FMOD will wait until it is finished with it.<BR>
This is essential for optimal game file access in cooperation with FMOD.<BR>

<H3>Parameters</H3>
<TABLE>
<TR VALIGN=top><TD><I>diskbusy</I></TD>
<TD>TRUE to tell FMOD the caller is about to access the disk.  FALSE to tell FMOD it has finished with the disk.<BR>

<H3>Return Value</H3>
<H3>Remarks</H3>
It is recommended to wrap FSOUND_SetDiskBusy(TRUE) and FSOUND_SetDiskBusy(FALSE) around all game file<BR>
access functions.<BR>
--------------------<BR>
Note if the user halts the disk access for longer than the buffersize set by FSOUND_Stream_SetBufferSize.<BR>
Even less than this can cause skipping or corrupted sound, due to seeking and the actual time it takes to<BR>
do the audio stream read in the stream subsystem.<BR>
To avoid this it is recommended to split game reads up into chunks, to allow FMOD access to the disk periodically.<BR>
--------------------<BR>
This function will block until FMOD is not using the disk any more.<BR>
